Getting a place
How children get a place in Kensington
The neighbourhood school
No application round, no lottery: the address fixes the school, and the board handles the paperwork.
Catholic schools
The province funds Catholic separate schools beside the public ones. Each separate board sets its own admission rules, usually giving Catholic families first place.
Independent schools
Admission to an independent school is by its own rules; fees apply, lowered by partial provincial funding.
French-language schools
A child qualifies for a French-language school when a parent’s first language is French or a parent went to French school in Canada; an admissions committee can admit others.
The provinces’ education acts and the boards’ own admission policies; check with the board for a given address.

How to read these numbers
What this data can and can’t tell you
- The year. The province’s school list, 2025/26.
- Boards and systems. The board is the public body that runs a school; this province has English and French boards, each public or Catholic.
- What isn’t here. Inspection reports with ratings don’t exist here, and the lists give enrolment for one year at most.
- Bands, not ranks. Fifths are worked out among every Alberta school with a PAT result, then averaged per school.
- Which schools count. Inside Kensington’s boundary, or no more than 3 km outside it: that is which schools are counted.
- The kinds of school. Elementary schools run from kindergarten to Grade 6 or 8, secondary ones to Grade 12; some cover every grade, and alternative, adult and online schools are listed apart.
